Microtubule (MT)-based transport is an evolutionary conserved processed finely tuned by posttranslational modifications. Among them, α-tubulin acetylation, which is catalyzed by the α-tubulin N-acetyltransferase 1, Atat1, promotes the recruitment and processivity of molecular motors along MT tracks. However, the mechanisms that controls Atat1 activity remains poorly understood. Here, we show that a pool of vesicular ATP-citrate lyase Acly acts as a rate limiting enzyme to modulate Atat1 activity by controlling availability of Acetyl-Coenzyme-A (Acetyl-CoA). In addition, we showed that Acly expression is reduced upon loss of Elongator activity, further connecting Elongator to Atat1 in the pathway regulating α-tubulin acetylation and MT-dependent transport in projection neurons, across species. Remarkably, comparable defects occur in fibroblasts from Familial Dysautonomia (FD) patients bearing an autosomal recessive mutation in the gene coding for the Elongator subunit ELP1. Our data may thus shine new light on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying FD.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.View Full Text
